| Brass that has died from split necks, fractures, head separation, to many re loads. I just culled out 20 cases, 22.250, that are beyond loading again, at first, I just through them in the garbage can but it seems like such a waste to do that. Any suggestions? |

Quoted:
before i started reloading we took the cases just from one outing with 5 people and got $30 from the recycling center primers and all not enough burnt priming compound to consider contaminated they melt it down anyway i think. I cleaned the range out after the public range closed, and got a 5gallon bucket and sorted by caliber. I sorted and scrapped half a bucket, was somthing like 33 pounds and made 75.79. definitely worth keeping. Plus if ya go to a range where only a small amount reload you can score some quality brass. you would be amazed how much quality. cases are there to be had not to mention quite a bit of live ammo people leave. If its unknown origin i just pull the bullets . |

Quoted: If its unknown origin i just pull the bullets . Pull them all, I picked up a factory 9mm bullet once. I dropped it in my glock, and click, pop, damn. It was a squib, I racked the slide, and WET clumped powder fell out.  I now pull the bullets to reuse if I can, I melt the ones I do not reload for, and save the podwer in a can for later use. |
